perf lock contention: Handle slab objects in -L/--lock-filter option
This is to filter lock contention from specific slab objects only.
Like in the lock symbol output, we can use '&' prefix to filter slab
object names.
root@virtme-ng:/home/namhyung/project/linux# tools/perf/perf lock con -abl sleep 1

1 177 ns 177 ns 177 ns ffffffff851b4c28 tracepoint_srcu_srcu_usage (mutex)
With the filter, it can show contentions from the task_struct only.
root@virtme-ng:/home/namhyung/project/linux# tools/perf/perf lock con -abl -L '&task_struct' sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol
2 1.97 us 1.71 us 987 ns ffff98d7032fd658 &task_struct (mutex)
1 1.20 us 1.20 us 1.20 us ffff98d7032fd6f8 &task_struct (mutex)
It can work with other aggregation mode:
root@virtme-ng:/home/namhyung/project/linux# tools/perf/perf lock con -ab -L '&task_struct' sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller
